    I thought I’d start something different to the norm, something more light hearted.

    What is the fourth largest party sitting in the British parliament?

    A guess without Google would be DUP with Sinn Fein disqualified as they don’t attend

    Is it the party Boris had during lockdown?

    Oh, I forgot. That didn’t happen did it?

    I will hold off before confirming to see if anyone gets it. One clue is that it does require thinking outside the box.

    Independent Party or a number of MP’S unaffiliated to a Party TW?

    I will give the answer tomorrow. ;-)

    So presumably it’s the party with the fourth highest membership, regardless of the number of MPs?

    If that’s done by percentage of the electorate then it’s the Conservatives.

    No, it is the number of MPs. Bobby is closest, but there is a trick in the question. He’d otherwise be correct. The fourth largest party in the House of Commons, with the fourth highest number of MPs is the Cooperative Party with 28, which is more than the Lib Dems’ 14.

    I would say no, as they are Labour affiliated. :-)

    Also, If anyone else has trivia questions feel free to add some more.

    Nice to have at least one more thread that doesn’t involve a showdown at the OK Corral!

    Yup!

    One small benefit of age, I recall the mercenaries that were executed there back in the day. That said I still walk in a different room and forget why I went in there. 🤭

    If the question was ‘which country has the second most Portuguese speakers behind Brazil’, the answer would be Angola. It’s not the flag though…

    Just checked. Angola has a machete on the flag; just as nasty.

    Mozambique has the Kalashnikov!

    Okay, whilst we’re on with flags…

    How many National Flags feature the Southern Cross?

    One of the downsides of age, giving incorrect answers, even though I’ve forgotten the question. 😜
